Overwhelm

Do you sometimes have days when everything just feels like too much? Too much to do. Too many worries. Too much to figure out. Too many problems. Too many bills. Everything feels overwhelming. At times like this, the simple maxim, ‘one day at a time’, really can help. Rather than obsessing about things, try bringing your attention to the present moment. Become aware of your current surroundings. You might start to notice the birds singing, or the wind blowing through the trees, or the fact that you are actually ok in this moment. None of your problems disappear through worry. You begin to find that replacing the worry lines with a slight smile actually shifts the way that you feel. Try it. One moment at a time.
